The Hunting of the Snark

by Lewis Carroll

Public domain · Free4.7 (3)

"The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits" by Lewis Carroll is a nonsense poem written between 1874 and 1876. A crew of ten peculiar characters embarks on an absurd quest to hunt the mysterious Snark, guided only by a blank map. Their journey becomes increasingly strange as they encounter fantastical creatures and face a terrifying possibility: the Snark might actually be a deadly Boojum. When one crew member finally discovers their quarry, he vanishes without a trace, confirming their darkest fears. (This is an automatically generated summary.)

Lovely to have this in the library rather than hunting down a scanned copy online.

Worth every penny at this price. The edition is properly tagged, so navigation actually works.
